And your alternative is? He got voted away once, how was that not a valid approach?

“Sure this isn’t working, but shut up for suggesting we stop” isn’t a winning argument.

Again, what’s your alternative? And does that have a proven track record of working?

They don't have any. When you ask that question, there is no response.

I mean, ultimately the working class is going to have to bond together and get rid of both rotten parties, probably all at once. There will be a tipping point.

No, there won't. The working class who votes for Trump does so for cultural and social reasons. They don't like Trans people, gay people, or minorities and will never team up with them.

Many don’t. Some honestly just don’t care. They can be won.

Obviously fucking not since he came right back after dems did absolutely nothing to undo his damage to our society and our democracy.

Aggressively prosecuting the lot of them.

That can't happen when he frontloaded the judiciary with his sycophants & had more Supreme Court appointments than any other president. They slow walked his incessant appeals & ruled in his favor a shocking number of times. Aggressive prosecutions can't happen when they throw wrenches in the works.

Sure they can.

Sooo authoritarianism and legal warfare? It doesn’t matter if it’s wrong, so long as it’s our side?

> legal warfare The man led an insurrection against a peaceful transition of power. How is that warfare to prosecute?

lol you're gonna keep losing with that attitude

“What?! Prosecute them for their crimes?? That’s LAWFARE!” Fucking ballless dipshit.

look if you dont let Republicans commit crimes with no consequences youre basically Hitler. there is a strange vein of since-Carter Democrats who genuinely believe that using the powers of government is inherently morally wrong

Absolutely wild to me how many people are just like “Well the Supreme Court said Trump could do whatever he wanted.” It’s like they’re looking for reasons to give up.

What a stupid reply. The fuck is wrong with you ?

they let joe manchin post on here??

Stop holding yourself to an old set of rules that dont exist anymore. Is only wrong during times of peace and political stability. The republic and the rule of law have fallen. We need to act like it.

"Authoritarianism will be cool when it's my friends doing it"

Correct.

Many prosecutions did happen. Across the country and federally. If the people don't care and elect the criminals again, it's kind of impossible to fix.

damn, Garland probably shouldn't have drug his feet then

Prosecutions of minor figures sure. There was much more that could have and should have been done.

4 different cases against trump were set to go to trial before the supreme court saved him. You gotta accept reality.

Yeah, no wonder Dems lost. Turns out Trump was fine because Clarence Thomas gave the ok. Just gotta bend over and say harder, Daddy.

you don't have the brainpower to understand you just said why.

that was always going to happen, he needed to be in jail while the supreme court case was ongoing and there needed to be a plan to deal with the court other than waiting for old age to take them

how do you put him in jail when the supreme court says you can't? I know you want to just say "ignore it" but if you're going to go that far, you'd better be in the shooting war with half of the country like the last time the court was ignored

oh i very clearly detailed this it seems like you had a talking point before you read what i posted bsky.app/profile/asse...

He was convicted of 34 felonies but was then granted immunity by the Supreme Court.

Yeah I guess giving up was the only recourse then. Shouldn’t have even had an election, just have Joe and Kamala solemnly crown Trump and then be the first to kneel.

That’s what happened. He was granted immunity by 6 justices 3 of which he appointed. What do you suggest should’ve been done?

Fucking what? Use the other two branches to pass a law reversing that, expand the Supreme Court, impeach the two justices McConnell stole, point out the obvious conflict of interest, literally anything but shrugging and getting down on your knees.

All of that would’ve been nice, unfortunately impeachment of a justice requires a 2/3 senate vote which Democrats never had. Congress can’t pass a law specifically reversing a Supreme Court decision. Please get a calculator and read a civics book.

Democrats working out the fastest way to excuse their uselessness in the face of what they say is an existential threat to the whole country.

Lmao, only a fucking Dem would say “Oh the executive was given unlimited power by the Supreme Court” and then follow it up with “there was no way to take advantage of that fact” MFer told me to get a civics book that zero of the republicans had when they got busy curb stomping the Dems.

Trump was aggressively prosecuted. His appointments in the judiciary protected him.

Ah, you've bested me with your intelligence and wit. I turn into a corncob.

No need to get pissy lil buddy.

You're a fart noise in the guise of a Bluesky account.

It’s weird that dipshits keep thinking they have anything to say that is worth listening to.

treat every win like it'll be your last, do not count on voters to continue to support your candidates; understand that people don't like your party republicans think exactly like this and keep scoring wins despite being incredibly unpopular
